“Bibi’s Brain” Comes to Washington
At POLITICO Magazine, Ron Kampeas profiles Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer. Kampeas writes about how Dermer, nicknamed “Bib’s Brain,” is in the best position to restore President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s relationship in the aftermath of the Iran Nuclear Deal. On the other hand, Barak Ravid of Haaretz notes, “Among the White House’s inner circle—Denis McDonough, Ben Rhodes—Dermer is a red flag. They see him as the guy who incited Congress and Jewish organizations against Obama.”
